WANdisco stands for Wide Area Network Distributed Computing, and we make software happen.

This is because our technology is the secret ingredient behind the products that you use every day – from mobile phones to machinery. We are an active member of the community that develops the world’s most popular Source Code product: Subversion, and our technology is used by half of the world’s software developers.

Our customers include a host of Fortune 1000 companies such as Hewlett Packard, Intel, John Deere, European Southern Observatory, Barclays Capital, Walmart, GE and Cisco.

How it works

With our patented technology, software developers in distributed locations can work simultaneously, creating a seamless global network. Users at every site where WANdisco is installed have local access to the same data at all times, which means that they can make changes locally and see each other’s changes immediately.

We are proud to have a 98% customer renewal rate – which is driven by compelling ROI data: a recent study from Forrester Research has shown that our Subversion MultiSite offers a 167% return on investment with a nine-month payback period.

The company

Co-founded in 2005 by David Richards, Jim Campigli and Dr Yeturu Aahlad, WANdisco has dual headquarters in Silicon Valley and Sheffield, England. WANdisco grew, without raising any private equity, venture capital or angel finance to become a leading provider of global collaboration software to the software development industry.

On June 1st, 2012 the company had a highly successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange raising over $24 million. The IPO was oversubscribed by over 300% and the list of investors included Fidelity, Legal & General, Blackrock, Artemis, Hargreave Hale, Cazenove, M&G, Octopus and Standard Life.

Seldom does a company join AIM with such a bang, but WANdisco positively exploded on to the investor scene in June.Valued then at£38.5m , its market capitalisation has soared by over 150% in less than six months, a truly staggering achievement given the markets austerity-capped mood throughout 2012.
'We' re not even six months into our AIM journey yet, and so to win Shares 'Best ipo/fund raising award is a really fantastic achievement- one the whole WANdisco team should be proud of', says chief executive David Richards.
'We've always had great plans for our business, ' says Richards. 'Everyone we talk to knows how much we believe in our technology, but that so many Shares readers also see the potential is truly encouraging. I guess we'd better make sure we keep up the hard work. '

Shares mag best performer in the last 12 months is Quindell portfolio (QPP)

Good on you. This is what I love to hear Genuine people making something instead of sitting in a pile of nothing. Heard today that my great nephew who does 2 paper rounds got 2 tips from customers, one round gave him £6 and the other summed up to £12 - he then went into his village to get some presents and saw what he assumed was a homeless person sitting in an alley in the pouring rain and gave him £5 - the vagrant said he could not take it as he could not repay him and my great nephew said please have it as I don't need it. Minutes went by and my fifteen year old great nephew saw the man come out of a shop with a sandwich and a hot drink. Christ my heart sank and the tears flooded, I gave him a big cuddle and a kiss and told him how kind and thoughtul he was, I was so grateful that he did not see the vagrant come out of a shop carrying tins of alcohol. I do hope this share continues to grow and if in a shadow of a doubt get out. I also hope that innocent perons who can give generously at a young age get repaid somewhere in life from WHOMEVER!!!!!!!!!

Very nice write up 3m. Family mean everything in these times, thats what counts. You also do not need money to be happy. I think a person like your nephew has a gift that so many adults will never have which is to care to show interest in another person. Thanks 3m and I hope those g and t's are flowing. A very happy christmas to you.

Cheers dc - g and t's not flowing as I have two of the genrous ones brothers having a sleep over. They went to bed and said only 3 more sleeps and he will be here (one nearly 12 and the other just turned 13) quite nice as they don't want to believe - but don't know what to expect if they do not, God love them. A very happy Cristmas to you to.

Happy to swim against the
tide
By Maija Palmer

“People think I am joking when I say I think we can be a $1bn company. But we have the
potential to be very big,” he says. “No one else can do active replication like we can. It is
unique.”

The 42-year-old businessman can afford to be outspoken at the moment. Although Wandisco’s
float was relatively small – raising just £26m – it was four times subscribed and the share
price has more than doubled since flotation, giving the company a valuation of close to £100m.
Its interim results for 2012 showed a 50 per cent rise in sales and it has recently made a
crucial acquisition that Mr Richards hopes will pivot Wandisco right into the heart of the
fastest growing market in the technology sector – big data.

juzzle there is a wandisco thread.

sorry dreamcatcher - I thought there was but it didn't show in a WAND search yesterday. I hate it when posters launch unnecessary duplicate threds and I seem mto have inadvertently done so! I have now added a link to yours in my header.

EDIT: I've asked MoneyAM to cancel my thread.

Don't worry juzzle. We are up another 5% today . :-))

Wandisco – a 2014 PE of 103 but might still be cheap


On the basis of 2014 numbers this stock might look a tad expensive. But move forward a year and suddenly the Price Earnings ratio falls to a more reasonable 33. And this is a company that is perfectly capable of maintaining its sales growth at 30-50% for several years with clear operational gearing meaning that profits growth should be explosive.
